When asked how it felt to be out of the house, the show's oldest contestant replied: "A bit sad, I've loved them all.

"But I missed my family so much."

It came down to Lionel, Luisa, Liz and Lee to see who would be kicked out the house and after an agonising delay Emma Willis revealed it was the 82-year-old performing legend who would be saying his goodbyes.

And Lionel also took the opportunity to play down the bad blood between him and busty Luisa Zissman by saying he hoped the pair would "remain great friends".

The legendary performer revealed he would like to see either TOWIE beauty Sam Faiers or Made In Chelsea's Ollie Locke go on to win the contest, declaring that he "loved" them both.
